Sir, – Responding to David Graham’s critique of a dominant religious ethos in schools (“Religious evangelism soaks into every pore of the Irish school curriculum”, Opinion & Analysis, May 2nd), John Kelly argues for the diversity and inclusivity of his Catholic primary school for boys (Letters, May 5th). However, he may wish to update the school’s mission statement which holds “a philosophy of life inspired by belief in God and in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ” and “promotes the formation of the pupils in the Catholic Faith”. Furthermore, isn’t a school for boys only discriminatory in some way? – Yours, etc,
